Speaker 3 (02:53):
On my page.
I'm talking about modern dating, cause it's rather fascinating.
We come from the 80s and 90sdays of classic R&B, so you
expect one day when you grow upYou're gonna get that kind of
love and affection.
And so when you get out hereand you realize, too late, nigga
, it's rather fascinating, soyou just got to talk about it.

Speaker 2 (03:21):
What is something that's sparked you recently as
far as dating?
Is there something going on Onsocial media that you've seen,
or any video clip that you'veseen that's going on?
That's got you like oh yeah, Igotta talk about this, or I did
talk about this man.

Speaker 3 (03:35):
Recently I've seen a lot of you know, if you make 50k
, you're too broke to date, kindof thing.
Really, 50k, 50k, yeah, damn,you can't date.

Speaker 2 (03:46):
A 50k, a guy making 50k a year that's not something
they're going for right now.

Speaker 3 (03:52):
Yeah, I mean that's what they're saying.
I don't believe it.

Speaker 2 (03:55):
What's the response in your comments when the women
get in there, or the DMs thatyou may get about Some of the
stuff that you post?
Are they agreeing with what thewoman is saying or are they
disagreeing?

Speaker 3 (04:05):
Lately I've gotten a lot more agreeableness In my
comment section because I'vetoned down Some things a little
bit, but I don't know how longthat's gonna last, but I've
gotten a lot more agreeableness.
Folks are you know, they'relike you know.
Yeah, that makes a lot of sense.
Sometimes you say something andyou animate it and you're

(04:28):
emotional about it and you'relike, if you're broke, you
better get what a negative got50k, you know and somebody get
mad about it.
But if you actually say, youknow, did your last boyfriend
make 50k?
The father of your children,you know, I like the way you
brought it down.

Speaker 2 (04:44):
You got it that's what they like.
You got to.
You got to.
I was showing a video.
The young ladies out here tooDamn, my throat is killing me
the young ladies out here too.
I need to find, oh, I need toask my lady to send it to me.
It was a video, david.
You was asked to be on it.
My boy, gq Jones, is in it.
The red pop balloon the red popballoon.

(05:05):
Yes, so did you see?
The one with the young lady Washere and she told dude, because
he was from Chicago.

Speaker 1 (05:13):
Yes, she was in the club.
I got a video of her in theclub.
I do too.
I saw her in the club.

Speaker 2 (05:17):
I was the most ridiculous shit I ever seen in
my life.
I seen her.
Can you talk about that Alittle bit, please, man.

Speaker 4 (05:23):
Yeah, listen.

Speaker 2 (05:23):
Describe that video.
I'll put it in the video andwhen we get done cutting I'll
put it in there.

Speaker 3 (05:26):
I think a lot of times Some of this stuff when
folks get on camera, they becomeso not genuine.
That's true, you know, and theyunderstand that things can go
viral, so they want to do it too.
And it's like so you actuallycheating the marketplace?
You're not really in it To findsomebody, you just fucking
around.
So you really need to, like,sit your ass down somewhere

(05:48):
Because you're being a fraudright now.
That chick, you know, hey, Idon't know her Young lady, you
know, maybe you nice In the back, I don't know.
But she had the nerve to tell ayoung man, you know he sounds
like her little brother and shewants somebody with a better
Vocabulary In their day to dayspeech.

(06:09):
That's not even how you say thephrase you would actually say I
would want somebody with maybeMore of a vernacular, something
like that.
She was trying too hard To dumbhim down To make herself look

(06:30):
big.

Speaker 2 (06:32):
I'm going over to Instagram.

Speaker 3 (06:35):
Keep going.
She was trying too hard To makeherself look big and I got to
give it up to the ladies.
They got into the comments andthey would like listen.
You got on a sheen dress In abad ponytail, did they really?
Oh yeah, they was going in onher Because they knew, you know,
the brother was being realgenuine, he was being cool.
He wasn't being emotional Inhis response, he was just like
listen.

(06:55):
You know, this is the way Italk.
I talk this way because I'mfrom where I'm from.
You're from the same place.
I sound like your brotherBecause he's from the same place
.
We're just putting two and twotogether.
Let's not be ridiculous, but inthe clips that you see of the
show I don't know if that's thewhole show, but in the clips
that you see of the show Most ofthe clips that we're seeing you

(07:18):
see that a lot of these folksAre not actually being serious
about Finding someone to date.

Speaker 1 (07:23):
They're being serious about.

Speaker 3 (07:25):
Being seen on camera, which is like listen, hey, get
your ass about it, these people.

Speaker 2 (07:32):
These dudes looking for somebody to date, but in
today's society, though, likehow do you find someone genuine
when we all reach to the digitalway?
You know what I'm saying.
There's not an old school wayOf going to the mall or going to
Target or going to the Walmartand I'm about to go up there and
get a number right now.

(07:53):
I'm about to go and do my thing,man.
I mean, it's all through.
Everybody's got their shieldsup.
When you get the messages inthe DM or from any dating app,
how do you find?

Speaker 3 (08:03):
somebody genuine.
It's kind of crazy the moretechnology we got, the further
away we got.
Feels like that right.
It feels like that I'm notgoing to act like I'm an expert.
I really got the answer.
I mean.
What I would think is that youjust be more intentional About
actually getting with somebodyyou know, like if you do want to

(08:25):
talk to them for real, beintentional about calling them
up on the phone, being in theirface.
One thing I actually like towatch is A gentleman on TikTok
by the name of Calvin.

Speaker 2 (08:37):
I like, when you do this, you always put me on some
shit.
Go ahead, you always put me onsome shit.

Speaker 3 (08:41):
He just goes up to people in the grocery store.
And just starts talking to themReally, and a lot of times
sometimes they just put a wig ontheir head.
Ask them if they like wigs orsomething.
Like just be a real personableand I think folks need to get
more.
I actually watch that kind ofstuff so I can be more confident
Just going up and talking topeople Just whenever you feel

(09:03):
like you've lost that.

Speaker 2 (09:04):
You feel like you had it as a kid right, or as a
teenager.
You feel like you had thatconfidence.

Speaker 3 (09:08):
I feel like you lose a piece of it when you get so
connected on the phone, right,you so used to doing stuff on
the phone.
Like sometimes I feel like youknow, if I call a woman too
early they might be like damnnigga, text me for a week first.
You feel like the phone call isgone now, no, no, I mean not

(09:34):
completely, I just.
I just definitely feel likefolks are kind of used to the
text message.
But I think, slowly but surely,folks are gonna get back into
the more genuine phase of havingfun and getting to know people,
because that's what's lost.
You know folks won't.
What's the?
What's the they want to win inWhitley?
Oh yeah, different Folksdefinitely want that.

Speaker 2 (09:56):
They want to win we can't say, we can't say Dr
Hustable, and oh yeah, I'm andMrs.

Speaker 3 (10:01):
I think that's just a later on in life.
But yeah, let's A goals right.
She shot out the Dr Hustable.
I don't believe what the whitefolks said about you going on
with the text, me and thevisions.

Speaker 2 (10:16):
We were listening to smart list.
I don't know if you'relistening to smart list podcast.
That's Will Arnett, jasonBateman and what's the last one,
sean Hayes, and that's my guyfrom Will and Grace, my mom, oh,
ok.

Speaker 3 (10:27):
My mom, she love that show.

Speaker 2 (10:28):
And they were on there talking about they.
They now text and they don'tknow when the transition
happened to where they werehaving phone calls and then it
went into text.

Speaker 3 (10:38):
They're friends that just text each other, they're
just text.

Speaker 2 (10:40):
Now they don't even talk on the phone.
They used to talk on the phoneand then he said I never got
that text messages about when wemoved in the text message and
you know what I'm saying.
So now everybody text.
So I completely understand that.
Where you lose the level of notnecessary, maybe the confidence
of the guy approaching thewoman, you know there is like
being we work in nightlife.

(11:01):
Yeah, how long you worked innightlife.
What's wrong?
It's OK.
You forty seven man, it's cool.
Like 15 years, like 15 years, 15queen man.
So you know, you never knowthis.
Like the liquor, we know theliquor is going to give courage,

(11:22):
yeah, yeah, but that right.
So so when the club is bright,people get a little bit more
steel, right, but when thatlight, when that light is dark,
you see that confidence rise,man.
I think that's a level of welost that confidence because I
know, when I was a kid man, welike I told you we's in the mall
, man, I'm about to go withbeing, get her know, oh, shoot.

Speaker 1 (11:39):
We used to copy from Cross Street yeah, yeah, yeah,
all that yeah.

Speaker 2 (11:43):
So you so I know you talked about the relationship
side of things captivating orcatching everybody.
Yeah, right now, is that whereyou could you tell the folks
that you know you got your stuff, that you do, you got your
podcast?

Speaker 3 (11:57):
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, Make it make sense podcast on
YouTube and we talk about, youknow, modern dating and getting
folks together.
But primarily, I mean a lot ofmy stuff has to do with my
purpose and that's, you know,making sure the community does
business with one another andgets into relationships with one
another so we can be a strongercommunity, you know you're the

(12:19):
source.

Speaker 2 (12:20):
So you remember, when Neil you know, I think that was
was that two visions he'slooking for?
The source he's looking for wasthat two?
When he found them it was thesecond one in matrix he's
looking for the source.
And when he finally got to thesource was old white guy.
But you know, you know, youknow white guy, but you, black,
you are the source.

Speaker 1 (12:40):
I had a.
There was a young lady.

Speaker 2 (12:41):
Remember I'm Andrew.
Choutour name was I think herInstagram is like mad, I'm a
whatever she had just moved outin.
I was like listen, you want toknow anything in this city of
importance?
Coming black African American,you want to meet Greek shake by?
That's the guy.
You are the source.
How did you build yourself uplike that man?

(13:02):
How did you get?
How did you just come in andtake over Phoenix?
I really do feel like you'rethe guy.
I don't know if you got propsyou want to get somebody else,
but I feel like you're that guy.
I know you forever.

Speaker 3 (13:12):
Appreciate it.
Man, to be honest with you, Ijust felt like there was there
was a need for, you know, moretogetherness.
Obviously, where we at folkslive more spread out, so they
need something to do to cometogether.
Obviously, we work in nightlife, folks are going to do that and
come together.

(13:32):
But you want to be able to seeblack people on more than just
you know midnight.
You know you want to be able toactually have cook out vibes
and just enjoy folks and getfamiliar, being familiar.
Oftentimes folks will say youknow, out here we may not have
you know culture, and myresponse will be you know, well,
you got to step in to be a partof building it Right, and so

(13:57):
I've been blessed to.
Actually, it's not just me.
I got a tribe of folks that aredoing amazing work, and that's
Acres, who runs the ArchwoodExchange, nice Archer and
Greenwood being the mainintersection of Tulsa,
oklahoma's Black Wall Street.

Speaker 2 (14:15):
So I'm going to pause you just for a hot second.
Ok, did you hear the clip of?
I sent it to you.
Didn't I send it to you?
Possibly the Tom Hanks clipVisions?
I sent you the Tom Hanks clip,him talking about yes bro, can
you, can you do me a favor, canyou send it to Fresh Police?
But everybody, just you.
I want Fresh to watch the clipand this is why Tom Hanks is my

(14:37):
favorite actor.
Now, I know I catch bulletsbecause I am black, eddie Black
but Tom Hanks is my guy.

Speaker 3 (14:43):
The man is more than a fan, become.
Your guy Was it.
My guy Was it.
Was it when he was alone?

Speaker 2 (14:49):
Wait, wait.

Speaker 3 (14:50):
Oh.

Speaker 2 (14:50):
Castway, Um no, uh, quite as kept.
Forrest Gump is my favoritemovie.
I think it's the most completemovie.

Speaker 3 (14:57):
Jenny was a motherfucker.

Speaker 2 (14:58):
Yeah.
I think it's the you rememberthe Tom Hanks clip from Forrest
Gump?
Oh my God, you don't want toshow him that.
Send him the Tom Hanks onefirst, and then we can send him
the other one too, because thatthat Tom Hanks clip is funny.
You just that's amazing.
That happened.
I just seen it today and I sentit to the divisions.
I thought I said you could.
Sometimes he's on a hundredyears survivor of the Tulsa

(15:22):
massacre.

Speaker 4 (15:24):
And my question was this what's the Tulsa massacre?
How is it that it wasn't untiltwo years ago that I heard about
the Tulsa massacre?
How is that possible?
I've heard about Guster's uh,the little big horn.
I heard about the Alamo, youknow.
I heard about the triangleshirt waste fire, you know.

(15:45):
I heard about all kinds ofdisasters in which people died,
but I had never heard about thisthing.
That happened at 1921, onlythree years before my dad was
born, one of the most successfulblack communities in America,
black Wall Street whicheverybody was not only burned
out of their homes and theirbusinesses but then driven out
of the city limits by an angrymob of I'm sorry white people.

(16:06):
How is it that this was nottaught to me?
Because, I tell you, at the ageof 10, when I was in fifth
grade, living in Oakland,california, that would have been
a moment of enlightenment forme and it made me mad.
It made me mad that somebodyhad somehow made an editorial
process of what was appropriatefor us to learn about our own

(16:30):
American history.
It made me angry and it took me.
It took me 64, it took me 54years and I'm going to find this
out.
It's not right.
It's not right and it's doing adisservice to all of America.

Speaker 3 (16:43):
You know who?
You know who's the blame forthat?
Talk to me.
They are called the Sisters ofthe Confederacy, oh shit.

Speaker 2 (16:51):
This is going to be.
This is going to go ahead.
Let me know the.

Speaker 3 (16:53):
Sisters of the Confederacy.
They are actually the ones thatare responsible for what books
get fed to your children belowthe Mason Dixon line.
Wow and so.
And so I imagine that some ofthat probably heated over to
California.
You know in fifties and sixties, right, they're responsible for

(17:14):
keeping certain things out ofyou know American history books
that children learn, right.
So just the way this, some kidsmay grow up or let's say, some
boomers may grow up thinkingthat there's nothing wrong with
the way that they behave, ortheir history is absolutely
great, or you know slaverywasn't really that bad, or they

(17:38):
don't know anything about.
You know the devil's punch bowl.

Speaker 2 (17:41):
You know the devil's punch bowl yeah.

Speaker 3 (17:43):
They don't know anything about mass grave, just
black folks.
Or Lake Lanier, where you justis a great black town and then
you just a whole bunch of wateron it and drown them and now you
got a lake and then around thatyou got a white town.
Like they don't know nothingabout that, because this is a
confederacy, just basically,keep it out of the books, keep

(18:04):
it out of the books.
So yeah, that would be why hejust now which is crazy, right?

Speaker 2 (18:10):
Doesn't that seem crazy?
It blew me away and I swear Icould have swented sent it to
you, but I sent the divisionsand it just blew me away.

Speaker 3 (18:16):
But you were talking about those, I'm assuming the
streets, and if you continue,butchering Greenwood is the main
cross streets of Black WallStreet and Tulsa, oklahoma, and
that's basically what we'retrying to recreate out here in
Phoenix, you know, through theAcres Foundation.
It's a collaboration ofmultiple businesses and they

(18:39):
have their own website that kindof shows, you know, all the
black businesses of the city, sowhen folks come to visit here
they know what to go, they knowwhat to do and they just know
what to find.
You know us.
What has that?

Speaker 2 (18:54):
process been like Challenging, easy, rewarding,
rewarding, OK yeah, rewarding.

Speaker 3 (19:01):
It's.
I mean anything that's worthdoing, that's going to be easy,
but I mean, even if it's, youknow, just a couple of minutes,
that somebody gets to come to aparticular event, or even just a
daytime event, that's actuallymeant for us to, you know, act
crazy.
But they get to see, you know,black folks all in one spot,

(19:22):
right, you know, even if it'swhite folks there too, whatever
you know.
But us being in control of thevibe instead of, you know you
rarely seeing us at all, yeah,and then just being able to get
familiar with being familiaragain, yeah, right.
Whereas, like, let's say, inTulsa probably, you know,

(19:43):
everybody knew everybody, right,right, everybody was going to
the same church.
Yeah, now everybody doesn't goto the same church, but maybe
your church is down the street,my church is over here, but we
all going to see each other overhere and we know where to go.
Now you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (19:58):
So just creating community again, yeah, I always
admire because you all You'reextremely intelligent.
Thank you, brother.
Always, always, always active,always making sure somebody we
over here, we over here, we overhere.
And at the same time I stillget a little bit of enjoyment

(20:22):
because you'll cook us.
You know what I'm saying In agood, fun way.
You know what I'm saying.
That's why I enjoy watchingyour videos.
You'll go ahead and set flamewhen it needs flame to be set.
Is there somebody out therethat you like outside of I
forgot the guy's name you saidgoes into the Walmart's and
stuff, and but is there somebodyout there that you that puts
you on game, that set you on thepath that you are on right now,

(20:43):
because I want to get anoutside of your family like pops
and stuff like that, but I wantto get to that later on in
Chicago and stuff like that butanybody that puts you on to the
path that you are currently onand blazing right now.

Speaker 3 (20:59):
Well, a lot of this comes from when I moved out here
.
I was in a completely whiteneighborhood, yeah, and so I
know what it feels like to justkind of be isolated and not
really be able to move around,right, so in knowing that
feeling, I want to make sureother folks know that they have
options.
They just got to sit at thehouse, right, you know, or just

(21:20):
you know, go shoot baskets atthe hoop and your driveway, like
you can actually try to seefolks.
But I got to give a lot ofprops to, you know, my tribe
that started the ArchwoodExchange.
They own the strong war hatcompany.
They own pretty much threebusinesses on Roosevelt.

(21:41):
Oh, wow, yeah, and they justconstantly encourage other folks
to keep their businessesthriving.
Shout out to Matt or brotherAli Henry and his lovely wife
Havana.
You know they are very, veryhuge as far as the community is

(22:05):
concerned with getting folkstogether and actually putting
work behind it, not just sayingwe need to do this.
Man, you know like if they seea void, they immediately are
trying to figure out how tosolve the problem, to where not
only folks are able to gettogether but they're able to,

(22:25):
you know, make some money and beable to create a network.
You know not just be able tojust come and shake hands and
slap ass and go home.

Speaker 2 (22:36):
You know, what do you think the perception of Phoenix
is when it comes to AfricanAmericans down here, or what
people think on the outsideblack folks?

Speaker 3 (22:43):
When outside I'm pretty sure folks have an idea
that you know it's a smallercommunity compared to where
they're coming from, but theyknow that it's got to be
something here, right More thanit was 20 years ago, I got an
interesting question for you onthat.

Speaker 2 (23:01):
Do you feel like we helped out a lot in nightlife?
Absolutely, you've there.
I was telling GQ Jones.
I was telling them, I was likethat run international right and
the artists that we had comethrough even even your time in
Revolver and before that theRevolver I felt like was on the

(23:25):
cusp of social media and I feltlike international had the fool
blown.
We had the Graham cracking off,you had the Snapchat crack and
I felt like people were reallyable to see and I was telling
them.
I was like, bro, I think we areresponsible for a lot of folks
moving down here, even though Iknow the weather.

Speaker 3 (23:43):
You should definitely take credit because you got to
look at all the viral moments.
Yeah, remember, at one pointyou all were thinking about
doing a reality show.
Yeah, right.

Speaker 2 (23:52):
Because it was that big of a deal, you know you was
involved in that.
Yeah, yeah, for sure.

Speaker 3 (23:57):
So I would definitely give yourselves a pat on the
back, because when people comehere just to visit even if it's
March Madden, the Super Bowl orwhatever they look in where they
need to go, right, right andthey know, they know what to do
and March Madden is coming toyeah.
Absolutely.

Speaker 2 (24:15):
Do you feel like?
What do you feel like ismissing in the city when it
comes to bringing black folkstogether?
What's the is there?
Is it something else that needsto be sprinkled in?
Is it, is it more effort,energy?
Is it more businesses?
What is it that you think we'remissing?

Speaker 3 (24:31):
Seriousness and intention when it comes to
building a power base.
Not just it's one thing tostart a business because you
want to.

Speaker 2 (24:44):
It's dude.
What Scales on here talkingabout cap.
Yeah, shit, dude, just do that.
You got this shit out.
Serious, I'm going to switch itup.

Speaker 3 (25:01):
Seriousness, and more serious and intention when it
comes to building a power base.
Because I mean we, we, we buildand open up businesses,
businesses for the purpose of,yes, cp3 going off.
We build up these businesses so, like you know, our family can
be good, right, right.
But I look at it in an idea,really holy, as if these

(25:28):
businesses do well and theythrive, they give an opportunity
to hire some other people or tostart scholarship funds or to
fund politicians, right, or tobuy subdivisions.
And you buy any subdivisions oryou're living in these
subdivisions and you build upthese great families and now you
all have children and thesechildren probably get together

(25:50):
with each other and do the samething all over again.
You know what I'm saying.
So it's not just like, hey, youknow, we got a building and we
going to make fifty thousand aday and we floss.
No, I got you.

Speaker 1 (26:02):
It's about.

Speaker 3 (26:02):
this is about, you know, creating the kind of
communities that we say we wantto live in.

Speaker 2 (26:09):
Yeah, you know you ever just thought about maybe
running for counsel?
No, no, I'm going to be acounselor.

Speaker 3 (26:16):
You know I'll be like a good brother to just past Mr.

Speaker 2 (26:20):
Mays oh, got you, got you, got you.
So you tell me, so you'retelling me.
You've never set back, do youfeel like?
Because you know there's goingto be some, some, some TMZ drops
somewhere they go by.
Oh, we got fresh ass naked inthe shower With three of the
best.
You know what I'm saying Prettymuch.

Speaker 3 (26:38):
I mean, I thought about teaching and maybe an
attorney would kill.
Yeah, teaching, and maybe beingan attorney.

Speaker 2 (26:47):
I can't have you in turn.
You're too funny, I can't haveyou.
No, you ain't getting me out ofjail.
Y'all think I can't play aroundwith y'all?
God damn it, I'm not.
Oh, your journey in thenightlife?
Yeah right, you want you.
You're a DJ, you host for us,you mix out just like a mix out,

(27:08):
just you know.
I'm saying be putting the musictogether.

Speaker 1 (27:10):
Oh, yeah sure.

Speaker 3 (27:11):
Sure Sure.

Speaker 2 (27:12):
When did you get started man?
When did you get started DJ?
And how did you get started DJ?
And how did it?
How did it all open up?

Speaker 3 (27:19):
Man I shoot, you say, like you know, college, I went
down to Tallahassee and a friendof mine, just you know, they
kind of encouraged me to comedown there to check out FAMU and
I did.
I went down there forhomecoming, I fell in love with
it and so I end up staying downthere in the city and getting a

(27:46):
Internship down there, downthere, and I was always, you
know, working the club scene andjust the style of of music and
and MCing really, really, youknow, kind of captivated me, and
I also knew that this flavorwas definitely not in Phoenix,
right, right, Right.

(28:06):
So you know, all of these, allof these dope songs and
everything I got to put folks onto this, and so I just started,
you know, actually burning oneCD at a time on a computer and
you remember burning.

Speaker 2 (28:19):
Yeah, had to sit there.

Speaker 3 (28:22):
Boy, hey, hey, anything good ain't easy, you
know, anything good ain't easy,so I would burn them one at a
time.

Speaker 2 (28:31):
I probably broke that computer doing that shit.
You're writing markers.
I think I told you, definitelywith the Sharpie, yeah
definitely with the Sharpie, andI would.

Speaker 3 (28:39):
just in the middle of the night I would see like the
repo cars coming out in theDepartment complex and I just
leave them on top of people's,are you?

Speaker 2 (28:45):
serious, that's a real thing.

Speaker 3 (28:48):
I would just leave them on top of people's cars and
shit.
That's cool man.
And then you know, I got hereand thanks to my homeboy, dj Q,
I said to him I said, hey, man,I got a lot of music I want.
I want folks to, you know,check it out.
He was a DJ.
I said, hey, can you mix thisfor me?
And I'm going to put him on CDsand put some graphics on them

(29:08):
and you know, you know, I'mgoing to just pass them out
anywhere I can.
And he thought about it and hewas like I don't know that shit,
you're going to do that shit.
So he taught me how to DJ andyou know pretty much I just got
heavy into the mix tape game.

Speaker 2 (29:25):
How long was that process learning to DJ?
It was a difficult.
Yeah, man, you're using recordsat the time, right?
Yeah, it was.

Speaker 3 (29:32):
I mean it was still Serato.
But OK, turn tables.

Speaker 2 (29:35):
Ok, I try to put you back in the seventh my bad.

Speaker 3 (29:37):
No, you good, you good, it was 59.

Speaker 2 (29:40):
59, you 59, right.

Speaker 3 (29:42):
I turn 74 tomorrow, just basically go ahead.
But now getting to, because youautomatically, you know, think
you know, hey, I got rhythmnigger, right, because you know,
yeah, so you don't think youknow it's going to be difficult
at all, but it's, you know.
It's kind of like learning.
You know how to write, yeah,you know.

(30:06):
And then you have to take intoconsideration, you know music,
note, key, speed, yeah.
And once you get outside ofyour bedroom mixing, now you
need to read this crowd ofpeople, right, figure out where
they from, how old they are,what kind of music they like.
Are they twerkers, are theyhead bobbers?

(30:27):
You know that kind of thing.
So, which is really?
That's really the, the, thequantum physics of it is reading
people, yes, like after you doall the stuff in the bedroom.
That's just kind of like thetraining wheel stuff, right, but
as far as learning, you neverstop, and if you do, then you
may not be working no more.
You got to try it.

(30:48):
It's innovate or die, butdefinitely getting comfortable.

Speaker 2 (30:51):
Do you, do you remember your first gig?

Speaker 3 (30:54):
First paying gig.
First paying gig.
It was a wedding.
This dude didn't want to do it.
He called me and my roommate tocome do it.
Yeah, he got there.
I heard that wedding money isall right, man.
It's incredible because it's aonce in a lifetime thing.

Speaker 2 (31:06):
But let me ask you something, OK.
How did you do at the weddingand did you feel the pressure of
providing the soundtrack forsomebody's eternal love?

Speaker 3 (31:15):
OK, so I didn't actually have to do too much of
the DJ and just a little bit andI was.
I was the host of the event,but immediately once we got
there we saw why the dude left.
He lied to us and told us thathis wife was having a baby Wow.
But we got there and we justrealized it was a bride's zilla

(31:36):
wedding, oh wow.
And he didn't want no parts ofit.
The lady was me.
The whole family was crazy.
It was like they was like allfrom Turkey or something.
Oh yeah, and they were notcrazy, but they was just real
animated about this is their day, Right.
And bro was like yo, yeah, mylady's having a having a baby.
I got to go and and we got thereand we was like your wife, even

(32:04):
though God damn baby wanted toget out, and it was like, oh,
think about a think about a roommaybe just a little bit deeper
than this, right, and we upagainst the wall.
Yeah, it almost looks like anASU auditorium.

Speaker 1 (32:20):
OK.

Speaker 2 (32:20):
OK.

Speaker 3 (32:21):
And, but just much smaller than that.
Yeah, right, and we up againstthe wall Just trying to figure
it out, right, but the crazything was rock, that bitch
jammed it.
My man Q, he rocked it.
Yeah, I'm hosting and theyloved us, man.
They hugging us on out the door.

(32:42):
They, like you ain't got toleave, you can stay all night.

Speaker 2 (32:45):
We was like that's what's up man.

Speaker 3 (32:48):
You know, but no, it was after that.
It was like oh man, right you,you came through the fire, you
can do whatever now.

Speaker 2 (32:56):
Yeah, for sure, you can play a bridezilla you good
Straight.
What do you think when it comesto nightlife out here and you,
you're, you're in the, I see,I'll see you Friday, I'll see
you Saturday.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah, there is a new move, anew thing of people just being
inside the club and they justkind of chillin and they just

(33:18):
standing around and I know, likeI said, we've you, we have at
least worked together now 13same as GQ about 13 good ones.
And what do you think ischanged from when you started
middle until now?

Speaker 3 (33:35):
I think social media has a big deal to do with it,
because if you talk to me, ifyou think about it, everybody
now has access to what you looklike, what you do and your
lifestyle.
So it's almost this kind ofpressure to make it look perfect
.
Hmm, right, so when you get outin the real world you gotta

(33:57):
kind of keep up the facade.
You can't get extra goofy andsweat.
You know, whereas before nobodyknew your name, you didn't give
a damn.
You're coming there to enjoy themusic.
The music also has something todo with it, is it all right?

Speaker 2 (34:14):
You said the music.
If I could jump in.
You said the music hassomething to do with it.
Is it okay for me to ask, is it, if you're comfortable?
I'll cut it out of me, youcould?
I don't know if this is likethe they call it the woman wave
of music.

Speaker 3 (34:30):
Oh, I think that actually as much as you know as
just a person, some of thosesongs kind of you know, get on
my nerves, but at the same time,as a DJ in a club, those songs
actually get people active.
Yeah Right, it's the othersongs where you know it's like

(34:54):
most of us ain't trapping yeahfor sure.

Speaker 2 (34:56):
You know what I'm saying For sure.

Speaker 3 (34:57):
So.
But if we constantly got thatbeing drilled in, then you know
there's not much to do on a songlike that.
That'll make you sweat.
Now you could still get hypedto it, but if it's a heavy dose
of it, you know you got to mixit up, you know as it.

Speaker 2 (35:18):
When we do R&B night, man, you could just see.
You can see folks singing.
The energy is high.
People are having a good time,they dancing, the sweat is there
.
What is I mean?
Our mixing's better now.
Our mastering's better now.
The mics are better now.
Everything hits harder, thevocals are more crisp.
How is it that the late 80s and90s and early 2000s just

(35:42):
continues it, just 90s ingeneral, just continue to make
these people so happy on an R&Bnight.
What do you think that is?

Speaker 3 (35:50):
I mean you got to.
It goes back to what we weretalking about before more
technology we got, the furtherwe got apart, because the more
we kept doing was focusing onthis.
But, you know, when we didn'thave it, all we had was each
other, you know, and so it'sactual real joy and folks want
to feel genuine and music is abig contributor to that.

(36:12):
So if folks, you know, actuallyyou know get an opportunity to
feel emotion, the music is goingto be one of the things that
allows them to do it.
R&b music, especially 90s, yeah, I mean definitely before.
That gives you the opportunityto do it without really caring
about what people think aboutyou.
You know, other stuff is kindof too cool for school and I get

(36:35):
it, you know, because I likejust about you know everything,
okay, find something good ineverything, but the R&B music is
really what it allows folks tobe, whatever they want to be.
Like a short story, when I firststarted DJing in a brunch, I
really didn't know, you know,what was acceptable, but I

(36:57):
didn't want folks to be boredand so I started to see folks
dancing and I didn't stop them.
This young lady came up to me.
She told me.
She said I want you to know.
All you had to do was give thempermission.
Right, what you mean and whatshe meant was all you had to do
was give them permission to actthe way they want to act and

(37:18):
feel how they want to feel.
You ain't got to have them beuptight and just sit in their
seats.
All you had to do was give thempermission to be able to dance
and do what it is that theyalready wanted to do, and
they'll do it.

Speaker 2 (37:31):
I'mma fuck what you hear.
Okay, we gonna stick on that.

Okay, well, I mean, I know you,you and your pops are your
butts Like you, tight right,Mm-hmm, you know, is that like
you're growing up?
Was that your?
That's, your, the person, youlooked up to you, you, you
emulated, you wanted to be like,or you had a lot of his

(40:54):
qualities and my dad is likekind of an osmosis kind of thing
.
you know, like Watch the wordswatch the words when you get to
throwing them at me and I got tothink in my box.
I got to think about Will Smithin the damn movie and I got to
remember it Because I, I got, Igot a dad my stepdad, they, they
both are very influential.

Speaker 3 (41:13):
Oh, yeah, yeah, my, my dad, just mannerisms, being
more outspoken and not really,you know, given a damn about.
You know being embarrassed, youknow being a life of the party
but still being able to be agentleman, that kind of thing.

(41:35):
And and drawing a line in thesand on respect, right, my
stepdad influenced me on, youknow, how to move in rooms and
Be perceived properly, yeah,right, and a lot of those, a lot

(41:57):
of those things are justthrough osmosis, it wasn't like,
yeah, and by osmosis I mean,like you know, you learn through
seeing or being around it.
Right, right, it wasn't likeall the time where they just
take you aside and say you dothis, this, this, this, yeah,
and sometimes they'll, they'll,they'll say to me, you know, I
remember my stepdad when talkingto me about finding a wife.

(42:17):
He was like, you know, just makesure you find somebody who's,
you know, graceful and generous,right, yeah, and my dad, as far
as dealing with women, Iremember you know him telling me
say, don't ever let nobody putyou on front street, right, yeah
, and those are both extremelyvaluable, right, you know things

(42:40):
to say to a young man, you know, so he's not going out into the
world wide-eyed and bushytailed and not understanding.
You know how to handle himselfout there.

Speaker 2 (42:49):
Is there a question that you've always wanted to ask
your pops, but you've neverasked him before?
Oh man, I always say this that'swhat I say, man, if you have an
opportunity, these, the dumb,silly questions you may ask your
friends, the dumb sillyquestions you may ask your girl
or your boyfriend, whatever thecase may be.
Um, you know you're not goingto be able to handle it and you,

(43:11):
the same way, you get to know.
Uh, it's similar, kind ofsimilar.
You get to wait to know yourfriends, to know your, your,
your partner.
Um, I feel like, if you get theopportunity, you should ask
your parents some of thesequestions.
Man, a lot of times you justsee them and you meet them and
you talk to them, y'all.
I'm back, you know what I'msaying.
I'm visiting back home orwhatever.
But to dig into what was yourlistening to at prom when you

(43:33):
was dancing you know, you knowwhat I'm saying.
What was some of you enjoy?
What was a?
What was a place you went to goeat back in the?
You know what I'm saying.
What was the question you wouldask?
You know, like your pops oryour moms, that you've never
asked.

Speaker 3 (43:49):
Um, let me see, a lot of times I like to pick my
dad's brain about his experience, uh, militarily, right, he was
a Vietnam vet.
So, um, a lot of uh for a lotof those guys.
A lot of those things stillaffect them today.

Speaker 2 (44:08):
He's a high-side down to San Antonio.
You know I couldn't help it.
Cause he knows.

Speaker 3 (44:18):
You know what I'm talking about.
Yeah, I'm the dude playing thedude.
This guy's the dude, me and thedude yeah.

Speaker 2 (44:24):
My bad, y'all Go ahead.

Speaker 3 (44:27):
I would just, uh, you know, ask him about, uh, how he
was able to adapt coming backhome after that, you know, and
um, that was that was a vicioustime.

Speaker 2 (44:41):
That was a tough time , yeah.

Speaker 3 (44:43):
So, and then for my, for my stepdad, I would really
ask him you know what inparticular happened, in order
for us to actually move out here, because a lot of people don't
know?
My stepdad was actually.
He was a chief of police in atown called Evanston that was on

(45:05):
the north side of Chicago, andhe was exceptionally good at his
job, so much so they had likeone homicide, wow Right, but
Chicago is not a not an easytown to work in Right.
So, after doing such a great job, all of a sudden we was about

(45:25):
it there and for somebody thatwas so good, it was easy.

Speaker 2 (45:28):
That means that he was willing to stand on the
shield If somebody doing wrongthat's what you kind of feel
like, if somebody was doingwrong.
I came in and told somebody wasdoing wrong and they was like
oh motherfucker, you know whatI'm saying, it's cops for life.
You know what I'm saying?
Is that something you feel, oryou feel like it's something you
I feel like?

Speaker 3 (45:49):
it's definitely got to be something that.

Speaker 2 (45:54):
I can't wait for you to ask and then I can get an
answer for this.
I really don't know.

Speaker 3 (45:58):
You know, somebody has some dirty hands.
You know what I'm saying.
I got you, so I feel like hewas too good of a guy in order
to, you know, maybe play ball orsomething like that, but it's a
long time ago now so I imagineyou know wouldn't be a big deal.
Yeah, hopefully you know.
But I'm very proud of both ofthem, you know, and what they

(46:22):
were able to come through inthat city at that time you know
what I'm saying and to be ableto make something of themselves,
you know you're, like I toldyou earlier, man, extremely
intelligent.

Speaker 2 (46:33):
Thank you, man.
Super smart, well kept boy.
You be, you be on it Did wetalk about the hairline last
week, the interview GQ talkabout the hairline.

Yeah, you're playing on havingkids, absolutely that is.
You know, that's something I'mplaying on doing, right, but I
just got to you know I got there.

Speaker 2 (47:07):
Why has that not happened?

Speaker 3 (47:10):
Uh, because I like to be married, right, you know why
, you sure.

Speaker 2 (47:17):
You know, it's a little time for a little spice.
I'm going to go left, I'm goingto go right.
You know what I'm saying.
You, I can, I can I.
Yeah, I've heard you talk aboutthe poly world.

Speaker 1 (47:30):
Oh, ok, all right.

Speaker 2 (47:31):
So that means, when you say get married, does that
mean you got four of them?
You got four wives.
I mean I'm in a man with sevenwives Remember that from a
diehard three days on the phone.
I'm in a man from seven wives.
Do we have seven?
Ok, ok, cool, all right, goahead.
Yes, yeah.

Speaker 3 (47:47):
Yeah, I mean I would, I would love to have that, you
know, but I'm not against youknow.
Monography, I'm not against it,but I would definitely love to
you know, have you know do youOK?

Speaker 2 (48:01):
do you feel like you can find your, your one or your
two here in Phoenix's, or is itsomething you feel like you got
to?
You got to step out of town todo that?

Speaker 3 (48:12):
I think it's, it's possible.
I think it's, I think, sincesocial media has become much
more difficult.

Speaker 2 (48:20):
Yeah, yeah, to me, I think that it's become difficult
.
But if you know you in a space,right, you know you there.
Yeah, and this is the way it isnow.
This is how we operate.
You get sharper in there, it'slike anybody, sharp and dire.

(48:41):
Yeah, there is.
You take they talk about LeBroncouldn't play in the 90s and
80s.
I feel like if you put LeBronin that era, he has to learn how
to play in that era and I thinkhe would do the same thing that
he was doing now, that he'sdoing now, you know, saying, of
course you're dealing with somemore physicality, we can get all
that.
You know, I don't want to fuckup the brand or how much.
You probably got some LeBronboxes on right now.

(49:01):
I don't want to do that to you,I don't want to get involved in
all that.

know, be able to thrive.

So, and I mean, even if Iwasn't, I kind of got a Outgoing

(49:52):
of enough personality whereit's not a big deal, right.
But I do recognize that thekind of things that, like Dave

community being better.
If our community is morephysically active, our community
is better, healthier, morelikely to be in relationships
and to have babies and be largerand have more political and
financial power.

least be willing to adapt thatas a normal part of their.
You know, day to day, yeah, Imean when you anybody would, man
or woman when you work out,even when you don't want to work
out, that's someself-discipline, right, right,

I have never seen, and I don'teven spend that much time on

there than spend my time onFacebook.
That's how you know what I'msaying.
I don't be on there, you knowwhat I'm saying?

Speaker 3 (58:13):
A lot of great LeBron debates.

Speaker 2 (58:14):
And that's why I'm not on there.
Man, I know that when.
I get on there, the first thingI'm going to see is fresh with
this goddamn hand shooting.
You know what I'm saying?
I'm talking about LeBron, stilldead.
He got eaten goat so no wayright.
But he came to the sea, turnedit upside down.
What happened?

Speaker 3 (58:33):
A lot of beautiful things, man, lots of folks got
some some well needed pub forthe businesses and we got to see
some folks actually a littlebit rude against you know
businesses.
Hope it was dark Folks hopingthat he got.
They got bad reviews and it'slike come on, man, you know, at

(58:55):
the end of the day, these if youput it like this, keeping it
real quick if you don't like ablack business and you black,
half of your responsibility isto tell them that and to say
what it is that they can work on.
You know, instead of justsaying I wish this business
would just stop.
That's a whole lot of work, man.
They got to go throughpaperwork building this brick

(59:17):
and mortar and, look, just tellthem what it is that you don't
like about it and what you thinkthat they can improve.
They can take it.
They can take it.
If they don't, they don't.
But anyway, keith Lee camethrough, went to the young
brother ace of wings spot and helikes some, some wings.
He didn't like some wings andfolks went crazy and it was like
listen, man, hey, I just had totell people like, listen, don't

(59:41):
go off the handle, because atthe end of the day, we only 4%
of the population.
We need every single piece ofgood business that we got and we
need to keep on building it sothat way folks can continue to
do it when they move here and wedon't stop.
One of the things that inspiredme the most when it comes to

(01:00:02):
this is I saw a documentarywhere they have folks coming
across the border and it wouldbe, you know, some Latin folks
on the border with brochurestelling folks who to vote for,
where to go to church, where toget a job, where to send your
kids to school.
I feel like there's no reasonthat we shouldn't be able to do
that when folks come here, youknow, to Arizona, from where

(01:00:23):
they moving from, you know what.

Speaker 2 (01:00:24):
I'm saying so yeah, we me and me and Visions looked
at your video.

You know what I'm saying.
And you was quick.
You got on that real quick.
You wanted people to stand up,support, you know.
And you also said somethingthat was interesting to me.
I know I'm not supposed to betalking longer, but you said
something that was interesting.
People don't understand Arizona.
Sometimes people come to thecity they don't understand or
how it is.
What did you?

(01:00:45):
What did you?
You know?

Speaker 3 (01:00:46):
That it's not like where you just came from, right,
like we trying to Build up.
We trying to build it up, but alie can get around the world.
You know, before the truth, putthe shoes on.
Be careful, bro.

Speaker 1 (01:00:58):
